Hush Little Baby






A beloved English lullabye. I used to sing it to my son.

Hush little baby don't say a word,
Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird.

If the mockingbird don't sing,
Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's going to buy you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's going to buy you a billy goat.

If that billy goat don't pull,
Papa's going to buy you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's going to buy you a dog named Rover.

If that dog named Rover don't bark,
Papa's going to buy you a horse and cart.

If that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest baby in town.
